I took a couple of days off with the intention of spending a little time with my oldest, who is home from Purdue on Fall break, and taking advantage of the free labor. I have a sizeable Ash tree standing dead in the yard. It was complicated by a severe lean to the left, agrevated by some large branches heading left. See pic below.
We knocked it down within a few feet of our intended target. I was pleased. A nice 32" tree with 24' before the first branch.
Since I laways need firewood, we started blocking up the top of the tree. I enjoyed the help and the conversation between running the saws.
My trusty 064 ran like a champ. Zach used the 044.
I also found some nice 8' sections about 14" daimeter that I will set aside for milling.
I will save two nice 8' sections of the 30" trunk to mill as well. I have not used Ash in the shop, but others like working with it. I understand that it drys nicely as well. It will be nice to mill something at home for a change. Easy access. Enjoy.
